Run or start capacitor defective
Replace
Loose connection
Check and tighten all connections.
Compressor stuck, grounded or open
motor winding, open internal overload
Wait for 2 hours for overload to reset.
Replace compressor if still open.
Low voltage condition
At compressor terminals, voltage must be
within 10% of rating plate volts when unit is
running.
Condenser fan runs,
compressor doesn’t
Low voltage condition
